An Ex-Statesman Jugged.

PARKERsBURG, W. Va, Aug. 26.-
Judge McGinnis, of the state circuit
court, and ex-Congressman Eustace
Gibson have for years been on un-
friendly terms. A few days ago, while
Gibson was defending hopeless case
in the circuit court at Huntington, he
took occasion, so it is said, to charge
that the Judge was open to bribery.
While walking ON the streets of Hunt
ington Wednesday afternoon he used
most foul and vile language concerning
the court, calling the judge opprobious
epithetS. He was arrested Oh charge
of contempt and fined $50 and ordered
efforts were made in his behalf for re-
lease from custody, but the judge re-
fused to modify the sentence, and the
ex-congressman must fill out his term

An Anti-PrOhibitiOn Man.

Special to the Globe
DEs MONIES, To-, Aug. GA. B.
Cummins, the anti-prohibitiOn nominee
for the legislature in Polk county, has
prepared his letter of acceptance. The
letter reviews the distribution of power
under our system of government. The
right of the state to fix a license is con-
ceded, but it is contended that the de-
cision as to whether license or prOhibi-
ton shall prevail should be left to local
authorities to decide for themselves.
The operations of the present law in
Des MOines. the Outrages that have been
perpetrated in its enforcement. and the
burdens it has placed upon our people
are recited, and the writer closes with a
strong and manly pledge, if elected, to
use his best endeavOrs to have the law
repealed. There is every probability
that the Democrats will indorse the
nomination of CumminS and Baker.

Special to the Globe
WINNIPEG. Man., Aug. 26.-It was ar
ranged yesterday between the counsel
retained by the government and the
members of the government to serve Sir
George, Sir Donald, and Vanhorne with
SubpGnaS to attend an examination be-
fore the court at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon. 1t was thought that by such
an examination interesting particulars
about the purchase of lots and Brown
ing'S connection with them could be ad-
duced. 1t was expected that it could be
shown that the purchase was simply an
intrigue OF the company to prevent the
building OF the road in order that they
might secure the carrying of this years
crop which means great deal to the
company. 1t was also intended to cross
examine Vi nlOrne in regard to rates
and make him prove by quoting
from the rates of other lines
that the competing line from Manitoba
connecting with the American system
would be of great advantage to settlers.
The local authorities reckOned without
their host, however, for the magnates
were not to be caught in trap. A few
people were let into the secret and one
OF them told the confidential agent of
the company. The magnates were out
on branch line in special train, and
it was intended to serve them on COM
ing to the city. The special train with
the nagnates arrived about l o'clock
this morning and according to pre-
arranged programme they were run out
to Silverheights intending to spend the
night in Sir Donald Smiths residence
there. About half past this morning
messenger tapped at Sir Donald's
door and as his business was urgent
gained admittance. He had message
announcing the intention of the move
ment to have them subp9naed to attend
the examination. This Information was
soon digested by the magnates, and
after haSty council of war they de-
clded on skillful and hasty actions.
Once Van makes up his mind, he is
quick to act, and seating himself for an
instant at little table he wrote: Elm
mediate, send out engine at once to take
us East; have track cleared; shove us
through without stOppage at Winni-
peg" Half an hour later an engine
was rafting out to Silverheights. Soon
the engine was attached to the private
car, a sharp whistle given and
away the special sped towards
Winnipeg. The track through the yard
had been cleared. and the train ratified
through at break neck pace. There
was no stOppage at the station here.

Developments Regarding Last
Years Strike.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Aug. 26.-On the
morning of April 26, 1856, Engineer
Joseph ii. Fowler felt his engine leave
the track near Wyandotte, Kan, and
the next instant he was at deaths door
from the effects of bruises and Scalding
steam from his overturned engine. His
fireman, Charles Horton, and the
brakeman, William Carlisle, were
lying under the wreck. This was
the elimination of the South
western strike, in which the strength of
the organization of the Knights of Labor
was pitted against the Missouri Pacific
railway system. The second trial of
George III. Hamilton, the leader of the
train wreckers, is now in progress in
Wyandotte, The arrest of the six men
engaged in the work was brought about
by the confession of William VoSSen.
and later Fred Newport turned states
evidence, and added his testimony to
that of VOSSen. Yesterday a
SENSATION WAS CAUSED
by the arrest of Charles Babbitt. and
the announcement that Frank Whitney
had been compelled by his guilty con-
science to unburden his mind of the ter
rible secret which he had carried for
eighteen months. Babbitt is charged
with the wrecking of a freight train at
Elm Park, about six miles east of Kansas
City, in April. 1885. The trap was laid
for passenger train. but the extra
freight was caught. The confessions OF
the three men as far as they lmpllcate
their cOnfederates in these crimes, do not
carry much that is sensational, but the
prosecution has allowed it to leak out
that sensational developments will be
made as the trial progressed. 1t is
claimed that it will be conclusively
proven that the whole diabolical scheme
was the direct result of preconcerted
action instigated and formulated in
lodge room of the Knights of Labor.
Not only is this said to be the case, but
warrants are out for members who
stand high in the order, who are charged
with murder, train wrecking, perjury
and conspiracy, and it is limited that
arrests will be made farther East than
the state line.

ference proposed for the arrangement
of a union among European nations
concerning sugar bOuntieS. France,
Russia and Portugal, he added, had not

George o. Trevelyan. one OF the
late GladStOnite recruits. resumed
the debate on Gladstone's M Jtion for
an address to the queen praying for
notification of the governments pro-
claiming of the Irish National league.
He said the late government did not ask
the house of commons to pass their Irish
crimes bill on hearSay, but that they
based their demands on parliamentary
returns of grave outrages. There had
been committed 7,TSS outrageS dur
ing the previous year and
twenty-SiX agrarian and pOlit-
ical murders during the first half of the
wear. Sir George cOntended that the
house should have tabulated statistics
pf crime in Ireland, and that to mention
one crime here and another crime there
xfas not sufficient TO justify such action
az the government was now taking
AGAINST the whole Irish people. He de-
MED that the general operations of the
IRISH National league increased crime
in Ireland or led to the general
NON-PAYMENT OF RENT.
The league existed everywhere in
Ireland and everywhere agrarian crime
was infinitesimal. Where landlords in
ireland made reductions like those made
bv landlords in Great Britain. they got
their rents as easily as the English
landlords. When the speaker went to
Ireland as chief secretary under the
